Lorry

A strong case can be made that this is attempted genocide: systematically starving farang to death by serving them too small chicken nuggets. (I remember from another of your threads that your waistline is already down from 50 inches to a mere 48)

Vasu is between Soi 7 and Soi 11, near BTS Nana

My comment implied that @BigStar's answer is correct.

Correct. But some people use the income method for their retirement visa and remit 65k every month. Of course, they should have started (from Jan 1, 2024) to remit 65k from old savings (as long as they still have savings abroad) and put the pensions into another account. First use up all savings from before 2024, before you remit any income.

Same. Branches (of the orange Superrich) everywhere. Best rate in main branches (of the green and the orange Superrich) opposite central world The green one sometimes has slightly better rates, but not many branches. For, let's say 3000 or 5000 USD it's maybe worth it to go the main branch. For exotic currencies even for less.

@BigStaranswered your question 5 hours ago. So?

Reminds me of my visit to a breakfast place in London the other day. Not a word of Thai on the menu, neither Lao! Of course, I left, this kind of stupid place probably wouldn't even have namtok. I went to a nearby cafe to get chayen, but the waiter didn't speak a word of Thai, I tried Khmer and Suai, useless. So I tried to grab a taxi to the airport to fly home - but even the taxi driver wouldn't speak Thai. What a godforsaken place

That's a good approximation to reality. But... quoting "dreamholidayasia" for a legal opinion, that's quite something

These numbers are a lot more realistic. You noticed it's gross pensions, i.e. before taxes and health insurance? These vary a lot between countries. The picture says average gross is 1300 (in the text they write 1200), so net is not that much more than 1000 €/months, probably 1100-1200. I said "many" have less than 1000, I didn't say "most". And don't forget, many people don't get a pension at all.. There are many places in Europe where you can hardly subsist on 1200€. And that's where you really need old-age discounts. (Most important factor: do you own your place? Home ownership e.g. in southern Europe is traditionally quite high, in Germany, for example, quite low.)

Did you notice that this site is talking about maximum pensions? Nothing to do with reality.

Lots of good suggestions in this thread. The most obvious one is missing: spend less time on the computer, especially if your neck's discs are not ok.

Daily If over 95 y.o. (need certicate from embassy confirming age), weekly.

What a cr@p No idea at all, but posting as if you knew There are extensive resources: many threads about this subject, several Wikipedia entries. Try reading before posting Same goes for the poster who posted "In any case, sex for money or any type of compensation is illegal at this age." Thailand actually does have laws, which are published in the Royal Gazette and can be read if you are not illiterate. Read them, and then post.

If you would have been able to read my whole post... But I guess by line 3 alcohol levels were too high to continue reading. I am now busy with my new musical bum gun from Temu. Do you know why it keeps playing "Shake it off"?

You mean Thanaya in Hyderabad or the one in Abu Dhabi? But I better don't ask too many questions to someone who thinks Thaniya is a place to go for a dentist. Best in town is in Onnut, btw.

You have always struck me as a very smart and observant poster. Yes, Onnut is full of low-life. Hookers at every street corner, drug addicts, the smell of fenta in the 7/11, thieves and robbers everywhere, dirt and smut wherever you look. Unkempt farang, mafia bars for pimps and their smuggled lambos, sex slaves from Burma screaming for help from their dungeons. Avoid!!!

You are not allowed to say this, I could rat on you ...

Thx for the warning, I will try to remember this. I ordered it because it can work as a ghetto blaster (GB) and a BG simultaneously! All my life I have been looking for something like that.

Audited accounts of a Chinese company. An oxymoron. You mean audited like Enron or Lehman or FTX?

In Thailand, if you are born into a rich family, by the time you are old you may be the family patriarch and really rich. If you were born into a poor family, in old age you get a government pension of 600 B per month (not per hour). They raised this to 6000 for some, and lowered it to 0 for some of the poorest. Even 6000 per month do not allow for a luxurious lifestyle, so if you had the bad luck to be born in Bangkok (meaning you cannot move back to your village) you are happy for any discount you can get. If you are old and were born into a middle class family - oh, 70 years ago there were very few middle class familes in Thailand. BTW in Western Europe, many pensioners get less than 1000 €/month, some just 500. OTOH those old people who had had a good job or a good piece of land, they are very well off now.

Can the first TM47 after coming back from abroad be done by mail? If the first TM47 after coming back from abroad is done in person or by mail, both require a separate TM30 even if coming back to the same address with reentry permit?

They don't profit from the prices of the cr@p sold. So what's the business model? Spyware (I wouldn't want "code that bypasses any security scanners")? Some say they grab your data for advertising, and that's the business model. No time to think about it, I must hurry to buy a multi-functional mouse-trap that can also be used as a stereo receiver or as a bum gun, 99 Baht.

Wrong, very wrong. It's just the other way round, a powerful selfish individual takes preference over society. Take yesterday's fire "in a famous shopping mall in the Rama 9 area" that cannot be named (I cannot find it in the BP) There were much more people endangered by this fire than the ultra-rich family who owns this place (just bought the 3 most expensive department stores in one of the riches countries in the world). Many more examples, just open your eyes

They don't disappear, they just don't know. And, people get tired of answering the same questions to newcomers in the tax threads again and again, questions that have already been discussed last year. You really should read the tax threads, at least the pinned one.

No, you will have to wait much longer, until someone has done it and has later been audited. 2027 maybe? Then he can tell us whether it was accepted or not by the TRD.
